The product of tonights LiveStream. Went in without any plans, aside from to make an entry for The-mech-warriors competition.
This came out, don't think I've ever polished a piece this much in one sitting, the power of mecha got me though :)

A Marauder heavy mech from battletech, firing a pair of PPCs and Medium Lasers.
Due to the original being a pull from macross, the canon design has gone through a lot of changes in it's life. With my painting I aimed to bring together the feel of the original, with some modernization of the re-seen version, some IIC details made it in too.

Way cooler than the Macross mech it was based off.

Guess what happens when you take off the top cannon and add two shoulder mounted LRM20 launchers.

Last proper Mechwarrior/Battletech table-top campaign I played too long ago, my character James Wolfe (no relation, just happened to be an RP name I sometimes used for military themed characters) upgraded from the classic Enforcer into a salvaged Marauder. At the time we had just started salvaging Clan tech and it became the test platform for integrating Clan tech with Inner Sphere tech.

So a couple of salvage runs and skirmishes later I had my finished MAD-5D modified, "Mad Raptor." Dropped the AC/5 and ammo for Jump Jets (5/8/5 Heavy Mech!), and got a full conversion to Clan Heatsinks. I may or may not have found some Clan PPC's to swap out, don't quite remember. I also added some armor to some key spots but that's the basic jist of it.
